The forest is a dark and scary place 
Tall oak trees never coming to a end
Creatures running all around the forest 
Chance of dying any minute in there
Water traveling fast down the wide stream
Strange noises coming from all around you
High hills, small pits walking is a struggle
Walking in caution in fear of big snakes
You don’t know what is behind the next tree
Don’t take the wrong step it could cost your life

The chance of torrential downpour at sight
The sky started to become pitch black dark
The the tall oaks were shaking from the hard wind
I scattered to collect wood for schelter, 
When the rain started to slowly come down
The rain started to rapidly pick up,
That’s when I knew I was in big trouble
All the pits started to fill with water

My feet were slipping after every step
I started to become very nervous 
The river water was escalating,
Up the side, so I started running fast
Sprinting fast with my own life on the line
Jumping over any twigs in the way
The river was catching up to me quick
Water started to flow into my shoes

Pulled under the chaotic water
Heart beat suddenly coming to a end.
